NSF Electronic Research Administration Forum

The voice of the user remains a central focus of the National Science Foundation's internal planning activities and systems modernization efforts related to proposal preparation and award management policies and processes. NSF has historically relied on community feedback via long-established outreach mechanisms as well as through an ongoing dialog with institutions and research administration-focused associations.

NSF is now embarking on a multi-year effort to modernize proposal preparation and submission capabilities currently available in FastLane. As such, the Foundation is seeking to actively engage the user community to gather individual opinions and perspectives on Electronic Research Administration (ERA) activities, collect feedback and solicit user priorities and topics of interest.

NSF is holding the third ERA Forum Webinar on March 15, 2017 from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. ET. The Foundation looks forward to your participation in this event. This session will focus on Proposal Submission Modernization (PSM) specific topics: Sponsored Projects Office (SPO) and Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) access and activities.
